Modern Slavery Statement — Marylebone Man with Van

Marylebone Man with Van is committed to operating ethically and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation across our man-and-van operations and extended supply chain. We apply robust policies across the Marylebone man with a van network to ensure fair working conditions for drivers, helpers and subcontractors, and we continuously monitor for any sign of abuse.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery. All colleagues, contractors and partners are required to follow our standards. Our code of conduct and employment terms make clear that exploitation, withholding of wages or documentation, and unsafe working conditions are strictly prohibited. Breaches will result in disciplinary action, immediate contract termination, and remedial measures to protect affected individuals.

To uphold our commitments the Marylebone removal service operates a structured programme of supplier audits, risk assessments and compliance checks. We screen new suppliers, perform enhanced due diligence where risk indicators exist, and maintain detailed records of compliance activity. Where red flags are identified, we work collaboratively to develop corrective action plans; persistent non-compliance leads to the cessation of business relationships to safeguard workers and the integrity of our man with van Marylebone operations.

Supplier audits, due diligence and training

Our supplier audit programme includes regular site inspections, documentation reviews and confidential worker interviews to verify working conditions. We conduct background checks on recruitment agencies and freight partners and require contractual assurances that no forced labour is used. Training is provided to staff and contractors so everyone in the man with van Marylebone network can recognise signs of coercion, understand reporting obligations and act responsibly when concerns arise.

• Audit frequency: Annual reviews for high-risk suppliers and periodic assessments for others, with follow-up checks where issues are found.
• Corrective action: Time-bound remediation plans and verification steps to ensure corrective measures are effective.
• Escalation: Immediate suspension or termination for suppliers with severe breaches and mandatory remediation for lapses in compliance.

We maintain clear internal controls and comprehensive record-keeping to monitor compliance and demonstrate accountability. Procurement, operations and compliance teams share responsibility for supplier oversight and report findings to senior management. Contractual clauses require access for audits and the right to terminate agreements for ethical breaches. The Marylebone man-and-van team treats supplier compliance as a continual process, embedding improvements into procurement and operational practices.

Reporting channels, support and remediation

We provide multiple reporting channels for employees, drivers and third parties to raise concerns safely and anonymously. Reports may be made through designated managers, confidential hotlines or secure electronic mechanisms. We guarantee non-retaliation and take every allegation seriously, investigating promptly and taking protective measures where needed. Any hint of trafficking, coercion or forced labour will trigger immediate action and support for affected persons.

Beyond formal reporting, we operate worker engagement initiatives and grievance procedures to resolve issues early and informally where appropriate. We partner with relevant organisations to ensure victim support and referral to specialist services. Our approach combines practical assistance, timely investigation and decisive corrective steps, reinforcing the Marylebone removal and man with van ethos of acting swiftly to protect people.

Annual review and continuous improvement: we commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement, our policies and procedures. The review assesses the effectiveness of our zero tolerance stance, supplier audits, reporting channels and staff training. Findings will inform updated risk assessments, strengthen controls and set measurable targets for the next year, with progress reported to senior leadership. Through transparent governance, ongoing training and active supplier management we strive to reduce risk and continuously improve our response to modern slavery in all parts of our operation.
